Lucas in 2010: It was my original vision to give Jabba the Hutt fingers, but that had only been possible with puppets, and I don't like puppets. So it was my original vision to have a computer generated Jabba that had fingers. Until now that wasn't possible, but with my brand spankin' new versions of the films, Jabba not only has fingers... he has spirit fingers! I felt it was important that Jabba wiggle his fingers as much as possible. It's indicative of my strong desire to have him have fingers! I felt that I could simply go in the direction of giving him regular fingers, but that wouldn't be worth it to the fans... the fans who have waited six years for a new version of Star Wars. They needed to see the kind of effort we put forth in these corrections. I know they'll be excited about these fingers. They wave, they curl, they give the peace sign. He even gives a big thumbs up when Han steps on his tail. It's a very whimisical moment. The kids'll love it.

::shudder:: You can just imagine it. God, what's that guy going to do to Star Wars next?
